Killer robots. Deepfake scandals. Virtual worlds that feel a little too real. Controller explores how technology can be used for violence or simply be a neutral tool, depending on our choices. Four characters are entwined by ever-changing tech in the recent past and the near future- but their decisions are mediated by the audience. This directly affects the outcome of the play and the timelines the characters find themselves in. What will you choose for them when you hold the controller?
